You will not do it just like that. I am very much aware of the matter in the force but we just don\u2019t have the required means to get rid of them. But we know them and are watching them,\u201d Commissioner Carette said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSlavery\u201d (the source referred to earlier)\u00a0 has also attacked the top brass of the police force.<\/p>\n<p>The informant is alleging that \u201cthe top brass of the force is involved with others sexually.
